Message: [QUOTE="DogMania, post: 5001167, member: 21"] I've never been a big BS fan. He tends to wear his emotions on his sleeve during big games in the postseason, where his players start to press when he shows he's worried. Although KU won a national championship somewhat recently, he's had a lot of early exits and bad performances in the tournament. He always gets highly ranked recruits so I've always viewed him as a coach that has done less with more, while coaches like Calhoun and Hurley have done more with less. What I mean by more, is a roster filled with a lot of five star and McDonald's all Americans, while at UConn we generally are made up of a one or two five stars, with a roster filled with predominantly four star recruits. With all that said, I thought his interview was extremely complimentary towards the UConn program, staff and players, so I've gained a little more respect for him. It is such an unprecedented 2 year postseason run anyone has seen for quite some time. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention how well his team protects their home court and how many times they've won the Big 12. They are so difficult to beat at Allen Fieldhouse. You have to be a pretty darn good coach to win your conference and protect your home court as often as they have. [/QUOTE]
